Secondary Trips: Computing Visit and Prague Visit (June 2017)

name = input(“What is your name?”)surname = input(“What is your surname?”)print(“Hello, you are { }”.format(name, surname))

This was the winning line of code in Python programming language for Eliska and Jirka who scored the most number of points during our computing visit ultimate quiz challenge at OLC Systems s.r.o. in June. During the visit our secondary students had a chance to learn more about the work of programmers and the software engineering company located in Olomouc. After touring the building, the company CEO David Pokorny tested some basic programming skills of our students and showed them how to insert videos into .html file using simple tags of the latest HTML5 code. Learners then tried to record their own video using their mobile phones, transferred the video into a computer and embedded the video into .html file. I believe children not only enjoyed the visit but learned some new useful coding.

PRAGUE TRIPThe last day before the summer camp, secondary students went to Prague with Ms Bára, Ms Iva and Ms Jana. Joining this great trip meant also bringing some serious sacrifices! First of all, students had to wake up really early to be at the train station at 6:30. After dropping of the train they had to answer some tricky historical and cultural questions from Ms Iva while we were sightseeing in the city centre looking at The State Opera, Statue of Saint Wenceslaus at the Wenceslaus Square, Passage Palace Lucerna, Upside down statue of Saint Wenceslaus, Prague Municipal House and visiting Alfons Mucha Gallery. After lunch, students were tested from their biological knowledge and understanding by Ms Jana at the Body Exhibition. This world-known exhibition is uncovering the secrets of the human body and make it possible for the visitors to see deep under the skin, from head to toe. Students saw complete skeletal system, muscles, reproductive organs, breathing organs, blood circulation and other part of the human body. Just before heading home, students had couple of minutes to spare at the city centre visiting some unexciting shops. They came home very late exhausted, regretting that they skipped the whole day of school :)
